Quantum Leap Packaging Acquires Connector-in-Package (CiP) Technology from Silicon Bandwidth.WILMINGTON, Mass. -- New Technology Complements Existing Product Portfolio and Broadens Customer Base for Next Generation Semiconductor Packaging Solutions Quantum Leap Packaging, a leading provider of high-performance electronic component packaging utilizing a proprietary Quantech(TM) Liquid Crystal Polymer Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are a unique class of wholly aromatic polyester polymers that provide previously unavailable high performance properties. In particular, they are highly inert chemically and highly resistant to fire. (LCP (Link Control Protocol) See PPP. LCP - Link Control Protocol ) compound, today announced its purchase of the Connector-in-Package (CiP) product line from Silicon Bandwidth Inc. of San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. . The new technology will complement and broaden Quantum Leap's current product portfolio to include applications utilizing Liquid Crystal on Silicon Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS or LCoS) is a "micro-projection" or "micro-display" technology typically applied in projection televisions. It is a reflective technology similar to DLP projectors; however, it uses liquid crystals instead of individual mirrors. (LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) A technology used to make microdisplays for rear-projection TVs and head-mounted displays (HMDs). Each LCoS chip hosts a grayscale LCD shutter sandwiched between a cover glass and a mirror. ). Quantum Leap will obtain all IP rights and assume direct customer support and manufacturing responsibility. Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed. CiP Technology combines semiconductor packaging with built-in connector systems, resulting in significant advantages over traditional chip-on-flex and chip-on-board solutions. Application benefits include higher overall yield and lower applied costs. A key product application utilizing CiP technology is for Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) packages which are used in projection displays, biomedical equipment and biometric sensors. "This technology complements our existing product line, fits nicely within our target markets and will serve to broaden our customer base," said Jim LaCasse, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Quantum Leap. "The acquisition has enabled Quantum Leap to simultaneously strengthen our portfolio while continuing to offer industry-leading, next generation semiconductor packaging solutions into the market place."
